  1. What are they thinking with a 175mm pen gun and tier 10 matchmaking? Its worse in almost every way than the Typ59 and yet has tier 10 matchmaking…

    • ummm…. T-44 has 175 pen, and is a normal T8 med, T69 has 173 pen and both see T10 regularly, because, well, T8 normal meds. I’d say 175 on a mobile med isnt all that bad.

        • Love my T-44! Most battles played on it (~700 battles). Only carry 10 gold rounds, and I barely use them. Quite sure I have over 50% on it too. A great brawler with nice gun stabilization makes it comfortable to play. T-44, T-62A and T-34-85 are my favorite tanks I have.

      • And both are terrible in T10 battles. You need to sit behind the main force and to support from a distance, which is going to be hard since the T69′s accuracy is a joke.

    • Let me just copy my reply from the other news:

      The point is that its on SUPER TEST server. Not on COMMON TEST and NOT on LIVE SERVER. I dont know if you know the meaning of TEST in your language.

      112 and 34-3 as mentioned by many others now had normal MM when they were on test servers too. So you can expect that it still can get changed. Even other characteristics.

      So PLEASE think about it just for a second before you allready moan about it.

  2. Looks like it has a lower profile than the Type 59. Might be a significant advantage with camo rating.

  3. Just a reminder though, back when the T-34-3 was in supertesting it also had tier 10 matchmaking. Things change after supertest, so I expect the release version to get preferential MM.

  4. Didnt the barell of the D10-T look different on the screens from yesterday? But basically its just the model of the stock T54 with stock turret and the D10T. So yes its allready HD since they didnt have to invent anything new.

    • If it’s the lighter version of T-54(less armor thickness) so why would it look different? Also WG is known for copying tanks because it requires less resources. That’s why British TD line is made of mostly similar TDs(AT line).

      • True, but usually, WarGamin also makes them look somewhat different. Whether it be different mounted equipment or shades of colour.
        Anything less is shit game design :P

  5. I don’t like this model… It is exactly a T-54. Why would they implement this copy from all the possible russian designs?

    • easy $$$ comes to mind, no complicated designs for the model team to fuck up. Meanwhile in the UK, Spintires gets developed by a single guy in 3 years, looks way better and has less bugs. Oh and he didn’t have millions of roubles to spend on corporate offices.

  6. awesome! … but maybe you could change only two little things about that tank:
    1. make it British or Japanese tier 8 premium
    2. use a more unique British or Japanese tank model instead of the copy-pasted, slightly changed variant of something that’s already existing in the game several times, while you’re leaving us in uncertainty about the WHENs and IFs, when being asked about new and far more interesting tanks and branches, dear WG.

    • Russian server has more people.
      They demand Soviet tanks. After that, its German and then British

      Japan and China are on Ultra Low Priority list. I know, it sucks.
      If only our stupid EU and NA and RU players actually gave Chinese and Japanese tanks a try…

    • To be totally fair, While the Russian tech tree is over bloated with premiums, none of them are good medium crew trainers. The ONLY medium crew trainer right now is the Matilda IV, and its not particularly popular for a variety of reasons.

      The Chi-Nu Kai is certainly nothing special, but I’d take it over the Matilda IV *most* of the time. And yes, I do own both.

  7. Again a new soviet medium tank…why not german or french or something ?
